Gaza: Is this a war on children? | Jon Snow - Channel 4 News

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z4TvDbffI0

I would have embedded the video but the thumbnail was too shocking.

This is what happens when you hide your rockets in schools, which the thugs who run palestine have been doing.

Your hate-bated propaganda will not work here.

And my definition of a THUG, is someone with superior strength who uses it against DEFENSELESS CHILDREN.

There is NO JUSTIFICATION FOR ISRAEL'S SLAUGHTER OF CHILDREN.
Especially since Hamas rockets have done no appreciable damage.

To be more specific, 14 years, 10'000 rockets fired
Total kills : 28 people.

You can't really compare the K/D ratios of this conflict.

-scheherazade

No rockets fired from or near the UN school. Sorry. Fail.
Israel has our style of guided missiles that can pinpoint the target, not indiscriminately bomb the most populated buildings in the area, missing the 'targets' but killing known civilians repeatedly, then lying about it repeatedly....and not 'warning' them to leave with a 'smaller' bomb (that has repeatedly killed civilians too).
Again...FAIL.

Well Hamas ( documented terrorist group) elected by the Palestinian people ( No Arab nation cares for Palestinian people. They are the least of the least) can stop the killing if they stop sending bombs on Israeli's people.

Israeli is doing what it needs to do to protect its people.

I guess these low information idiots get their news from Terrorist lover news networks.

really bob?
are you being serious here?
this is an actual serious statement?

Oh, Sorry. Remind me...
How many Israeli's have died so far in THEIR war ?

Let me answer with FACTS:
40 SOLDIERS, 2 Civilians
(due to Israel's ground invasion NOT rockets)

And how many Palestinians have be MURDERED ?

1,047
80% of which are INNOCENT CIVILIANS AND CHILDREN

To Recap.
That's 40 Israeli soldiers vs 1,047 Gazan (80% Civilians, approx a third of which are CHILDREN)

What's most interesting is how they were elected. The Palestinian people elected them in a free election (which UN observers verified). They elected them while being threatened by Israel and the US, they elected their own government with a gun to their head.

The US and Israel only support democracy when they approve the leaders to be elected. They threaten the populace and the leaders before they've even been elected and it's not idle threats either as the past 40 years have shown.

Israel and the United States stand alone against the rest of the world and the tiny population of the Palestinian territories.

Please do some more research, maybe starting with this.

I agree with your sentiment Yogi but the idea that the US and Israel are alone is just wrong.

The EU and the Arab states have been entirely complicit by omission. The US give the EU cover at the UN, and they are entirely happy to sit there and abstain again and again and again. Even the Palestinians don't trust the Arab nations surrounding them as they've been burned by that far to many times.

Its far to simplistic to act like this is a US/Israel issue, if you want to make an argument they are the 'most' complicit, you'd almost certainly be right. But NO one is holding Israel accountable and letting the cowards in Europe off the hook isn't right either.

Dude, get a clue-EVERYTHING in the news regarding Israel and Palestine is fucking propaganda-Left?? Right?? All idiots will regurgitate their programed scripts and your view on the matter is no-less full of shit, tinctured with half-truths, and most importantly you have no way of having enough REAL information on the sit-rep to make an informed decision-It's the fucking Jews and Persians mate, they've been cunts to one-another for fucking centuries.

In the current stage of the paradigm, WILDCARD!~We've learned how to refine crude into all-manner of covetous bi-products. This ain't yer granpappy's, whose-god-is best-argument any longer.

"FAIL!"....(how about fondling yourself in the mirror some more there, Loquacia Passive-Agressia)?

ooops, sorry
*snarkchasm

Let me aim a couple of ballistic rockets at your house and let me hear you defend me because my rockets suck.

lol what a convoluted sense of logic you have, absolutely pathetic

That's an odd stance to take, since Hamas HAD stopped firing rockets, then Israel made up another 'reason' to start bombing them again mercilessly (a murder), while Israelis also got 'revenge' by burning a Palestinian boy alive. The homes of the accused (by Israel) murders, their families, and for good measure their political leaders and police leaders were bombed to 'retaliate' for the murder, but in Israel there's NO retaliation for the burned alive boy against families, political leaders, or police. The Hamas rockets didn't fire until AFTER Israel attacked in force again, killing mostly civilians.
Once again, FAIL.
Hamas is doing what it can to look like it's trying to protect it's people. Israel, with our help and support, has ensured their options are quite limited and basically useless.
All Israel has to do to protect it's people is turn on the iron dome defense system we gave them, and maybe stop bombing trapped civilian targets in a barrel of Israel's construction. Oh, and may stop slowly invading the already tiny, ever shrinking country to the left. Everyone seems to forget that Israel has consistently expanded into it's neighbors by force, then cried foul if anyone balks and starts bombing neighborhoods again. Over and over.
#isolate Israel. (since # free Palestine gets so much play and outrage lately)

First you have to let me come and take your neighbors house, and 2/3 of your property, and the front 1/4 of your house, and I get to shoot your dog and your father in law because he complained I shot the dog. I'm building a 20 foot wall so I can throw bombs at you from the 3rd floor balcony of my pilfered home, while your fireworks can almost never get over the wall. If I see you with anything or anyone in your leftover yard I don't approve of, I'll take care of it with a grenade, then me and my large well armed friends will be over to check your home for more. If you don't run away before we get there, we'll have to shoot you for our protection, and the rest of your family so they don't retaliate later. We'll also be walling you into what's left of your property so you don't go out and get help or arms to help yourself (or food, or medicine, or any other basics of life) and we'll be tapping the water source you use as well, all my well armed friends get thirsty, and I had to put in an Olympic size pool to cool them off, so no more watering your lawn or farden (a small garden farm) because I'm using that water.
But it would be unconscionable of you to shoot fireworks at me in retaliation for these obviously good and proper actions I have taken, and we won't stand for a whit of resistance. It will be met with 1000 times the force, and any defense of you or yours is 100% disallowed except shelters, which we refuse to not bomb, that might make it too hard to kill enough of you at once.
It's a good thing I'm obviously the good guy, or else I would look like an asshole for doing that, eh?
That's some convoluted logic for you...and it's absolutely pathetic indeed.

Wrong.
Before "Israel" was stolen from the locals, they lived together there in peace.
You are right about one thing, it's far less about who's god is better and more about who's military hardware is better now.
The fact that Israel's hardware is SO advanced, yet they continue to target known civilian shelters (any claim to the contrary is simply ridiculous), tells me all I need to know about them.

So terrorism is okay, dependent upon the circumstances.

So the wholesale killing of children is okay depending on the circumstances?

Thousands of rockets which rarely hit anything versus massive bombing of a populated area that results in 80% civilian casualties...how about we agree that both are terrorism--and that Israel is much better at it than Hamas?

I don't think anyone outside of a Noam Chomsky bootlicker really believes that Israel is ordering the wholesale slaughter of children.

Interesting to note, the Palestinians have an accuracy rate of 2O Israeli soldiers for every Israeli civilian killed. The superior Israeli military is killing 4 civilians for every combatant they kill.

Who's the terrorist state?

They bombed a UN school that they had the coordinates for and were formally notified about, for fuck's sake. But please continue to keep your head in the sand.

Did you see the video of the rockets being fired from the Abu Nur school in Gaza? Illuminating.
